FMS 47

Good morning, Friends! I guess I really needed some extra sleep this morning! And that whole long list of things I needed to get done yesterday? Well... I only got to start on one thing! Actually, I did get two loads of laundry done and while that was going, I was able to stamp a few cards. But Nick was at a friend's house and we ended up going to get him and tote the two around before coming home and only have about an hour before we had to leave again. We did have a nice dinner with some friends that we haven't seen in a while and then came home again and watched some Olympics before going to bed. I was exhausted!! Today I am going to the quilt store to spend the afternoon stitching!! Yea! I am hoping to get a lot done on my table rug so I can get that finished up!Today's card was inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made. These images are from the Moving Forward stamp set. This set is this year's Ronald McDonald House Charity set. For every set sold, $3 go to the charity. And it has the cutest images!! The greeting comes from the set Sweet Essentials. So I mounted a piece of Marina Mist designer paper from the Polka Dot Parade set onto a card base of Whisper White. Then I added a strip of Midnight Muse and Gumball Green. I punched a piece of Whisper White with the 2 3/8" scallop punch and stamped the images from Moving Forward in Gumball Green. This is popped up onto the card. I stamped the greeting from Sweet Essentials in Gumball Green onto a strip of Whisper White and flagged one end. This is adhered to the scallop circle. Finally, I added a Marina Mist button with some white baker's twine. Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!Card Recipe: Stamps- Moving Forward, Sweet Essentials; Paper- Whisper White, Midnight Muse, Gumball Green, Polka Dot Parade designer paper; Ink- Gumball Green; Accessories- Subtles buttons, white baker's twine, scallop circle punch, dimensionals

Hi there! I just LOVE this card of yours and would like to CASE it for a RMHC event I am having this weekend. Would you mind sharing the measurements with me - I am wondering what size the DSP is and the two colored strips. Thanks so much! Daune Cotter (daune@imaximus.com)

This is me!
